Description
Prepare these filling, high-protein bowls featuring seasoned chicken and roasted sweet potatoes for easy meal prepping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp cumin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (optional base)
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach or kale
- For the Sauce: 0.5 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 tsp dried dill
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with half the olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread them on a baking sheet.
- Toss the chicken breasts with the remaining olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Place them on the same or a separate baking sheet.
- Roast the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender.
- Roast the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce: Mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before dicing or shredding it.
- Assemble the bowls: Place a base of quinoa or rice (if using) in each container. Top with roasted sweet potatoes, diced chicken, and fresh spinach or kale.
- Drizzle the Greek yogurt sauce over the components before sealing or serving.
Notes
- For faster cooking, cut the sweet potatoes into smaller, uniform pieces.
- You can cook the chicken in an air fryer or on the stovetop instead of baking.
- Store the sauce separately from the bowls to prevent the greens from wilting during storage.
